1. I very like it 6 S9 W8 f$ k7 \, S  m, d2 L$ h4 B
I like it very much. 2 N+ {( e7 y" g4 W4 q9 H

" A0 l. r! M5 Z! I6 n2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
$ K  a1 A; L' F* k; O# Y% z  d) m0 f0 m( i; r8 S% F! s& {6 ^
The price is very suitable for me.
2 M9 c6 m" r  v  H- `3 c( F, Z! ?1 ~2 B) k7 k9 W1 a
The price is right. ) J! z* O4 p2 c: i4 \* }
( m0 f2 y) i* w: y4 a) y
Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following   f6 S" U$ n( s

( `8 o0 i) G( n2 d/ z# j4 Yprogramme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 * C# N3 U8 A. H0 |& m, C3 P

0 j, E& S0 P7 ~  N4 i7 Z3. 你是做什么工作的呢?What’s your job?
! |) @3 u) D; P" s( X7 }3 E: {& b7 J8 ~- h, M9 `
Are you working at the moment?
4 l, \6 g& l" r- x4 i) q' n+ D( F2 Z3 S- f# u5 |1 \
Note:what’s your 3 A' |& A0 q. r$ q: E, w- P! ?
2 |/ }' G* Z2 J6 o# N
job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working 5 o3 T9 O5 ~; G; W, b8 l% I
& g2 H7 I6 Q4 d  N* n! y3 N
at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What 0 O. ?: u3 ?$ i  P6 X6 l

) `3 A" [3 j" ~, O/ @" _' z/ C! Uline of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书
) b% C0 b5 B% F$ Q# k+ j- ~
, {/ M4 w1 q/ X6 `4. 用英语怎么说?How to say?
( o1 w: W8 {! Y3 Z; ^/ _/ N0 W5 A+ x/ M5 r6 L
How do you say this in English? : m6 X. _8 s0 u) {+ U, H8 `/ E

7 \& f7 h: M) w" U) v1 ?Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you ' ]# b2 V; q" j$ K* t

1 E: ]8 }& {5 d* _' ?: Ospell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? 8 S6 M  O# ]5 ?! x  j7 _
1 i( D; V: n4 ]& N% J4 `" N4 s. m
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow? 9 R* K  N( C( V: d; A$ w  r1 k; m% v
' z' ]4 W/ L+ }1 L; w
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
0 k7 n& o; [# q9 D" G: P; ?5 n1 p( C1 W9 z5 n
用I have something to * {2 J4 I9 {# h5 R* b

  n& R+ B" s( k* Hdo来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I’m tied " Z; Y& z) \3 A; Y6 P) Y& @

0 g# D$ u8 i0 k. p0 A! ]- C/ ^up.还有其他的说法:I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I ) J" ?- [2 Q6 h' r; V5 t2 g, k. l
0 Z( a* c1 W! K- y4 n
have to stay at home. ' {2 @4 T/ i  E) r

1 m( i+ W/ f+ t, _6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name. 5 H* b( r# ^. K, b

. w6 X, q# V" ]& qI don’t have an English name.
1 R6 \( @$ [: N9 T# e$ h1 t7 L* R# }+ A( E. r+ F4 v. M! W6 y
Note:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
7 P' j/ P& l4 k# a! Y" g
/ J* a3 _9 x( t  j4 z明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any
6 F$ l. ?" i4 F) x
" a: Y  r1 j! M& @brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.
) z. E7 w+ o! m) X" W
$ T3 X8 x1 h$ Z  ~8 D7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t. & @& Q7 @+ T& y

% X6 I" m& Z) \' P* AI don’t think I can. * U: M. {* W6 U6 N5 f7 b/ o; }7 d

5 u. c4 r2 L9 U! @" F) a9 `' J7 sNote:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的, - A% ^, b2 V- ~9 Q

' _0 m& D* I/ P- a+ e6 m, e8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.
6 y( ^7 N2 I7 C- v5 O( B4 r( g5 a. O
I am not a very good dancer either. ' ~) a2 W, ~; ?' q4 N3 r
3 X: c2 v# f7 W  o1 R
Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
) j) \- @) f6 W! c# b' f& A. d) N+ l$ w+ o2 J
9. 现在几点钟了?What time is it now?
% p  f- {$ s* ^/ l! m2 j% g- d, X
What time is it, please?
$ z  Q5 ?) O& A- U+ o
, ^8 N9 g& r. s9 qNote:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it 8 w: {3 ^# y0 ~# M8 E

, s6 l; H. l! F' c+ B) b; Tyesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we
( [0 D, Q3 h" t' E' ?
! D# a9 |8 m3 B+ i/ _3 Kdoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
4 p% J6 G3 j" o! v1 Q
' D' ?; N0 P8 }2 u4 Q) s* h10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
+ B4 w, ^3 x3 b4 B  S7 t' f
4 U, W) J2 R$ T3 V' aI am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. + y9 J. O! t& h4 \% `, x" B
) ^0 P- G/ t0 ^& ]1 @, x
Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is 3 J: [  A, I7 t# I, ~
! u0 g* r1 ^& o
poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.
: [' M! w' b( z9 j' J4 w7 A$ |' z- M+ {, e
当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。
0 `- l# _$ u$ B7 o" g5 D4 p) U& J7 U$ |
另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。 5 K  {0 i: W; J9 c
6 c! c1 n% x: p+ T% v  d
我坚信,先不谈别的,如果您现在就苦下功夫,把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透,您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor. & J4 m6 N: J/ c$ l: c2 \
( k7 u' u& ]! C
您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。 4 i, ?6 u2 C) O( s0 S% I

( V" s. f* |+ E3 t( g0 b/ I

$ Y; t# I, D" H% L$ N
( {/ `- e' k- \5 U( ^; X0 U  iParty.事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。 # t' Q  N3 Q$ {. L

当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的) $ x" \% O0 x1 x  e2 W

* ]0 N! x; e+ S! I  @以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of
. ~. ^2 Y9 {6 s1 D6 }' M( k, \2 t
course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of ' Y: G# }$ c( e+ H; M

# n* _9 j- y4 M6 U- Xcourse带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course 5 i0 [( X" F$ r3 }; Z' q

not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
